Wildcat Canyon Introduction
Wildcat Canyon is a fun and easy to play game from Next Gen, with all the engaging gameplay you'd expect from such an established name. The varied special features make this one of the more exciting of the free online pokies out there, and ensure you'll keep coming back for more. The game itself doesn't look particularly special or innovative, but it's enjoyable enough to play that this won't bother you.
The theme of the game is - as the name suggests - a desert canyon, so expect to see symbols including snakes, cacti, wildcats and birds of prey. The rest of the symbols are made up of a selection of traditional playing card symbols. Wildcat Canyon is a standard five-reel poky, with three symbols displayed on each reel. With 25 paylines, you'll find you have plenty of chances to win real cash prizes.
Playing Wildcat Canyon
To get started, first select the number of paylines you wish to play. You can do this by using the up and down arrows next to the payline display. The maximum number of lines you can play is 25, and this will give you the greatest chance of winning. To the right of the payline window is the bet size option. Cycle through the coin sizes using the arrows until you find the bet size you want to play with.
Next, all you have to do is click on the Play button and watch the reels start spinning. For those who are eager to get started, there is a handy Autoplay feature that lets you choose how many spins you want to set in motion. Choose from five to 100 spins then sit back and (hopefully) watch the winning combinations appear on the reels!
Special Features
The game's Wild Card is, perhaps unsurprisingly, the Wildcat symbol that you'll see pop up from time to time. The Wild Card substitutes all of the game's other symbols, with the exception of the Scatter symbol. The Wildcat will only ever appear on reels number two and four. Wildcat Canyon's Scatter symbol is the Paw Print - if you land three or more of these across the game's reels you'll be rewarded with free spins.
Scatters can appear across all five of the game's reels, giving you plenty of chances to win. If you trigger the special feature, you'll be presented with three options to choose from. Each one offers a number of free spins and a multiplier - it's up to you which one you choose. One of the highlights of Wildcat Canyon is that Scatters appear fairly regularly, so you should see plenty of free spins popping up.
The other special feature is the Sticky Reels feature. This is activated during free spin play. If you're lucky enough to land the Wildcat during a free spinning session, the reel the Wildcat features on will lock. You'll then be rewarded with an extra free spin, giving you yet another chance to win.
